[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Seagate ST-213 drive

skeeve@pawl.rpi.edu (Sean C. Cox) (07/01/90)

      I am trying to install a Seagate ST-213 hard drive in my PC,
 (I have a '286 AT clone) and I can't get the system SETUP program to
 accept the drive, I'm using Award BIOS 3.03.
      The main problem is that when the system asks for info about the 
 drive, I'm not sure what to tell it, I've tried a few pseudo-random
 settings (the ones that looked most likely) but to no avail.
      Does someone out there know the following about the drive (or 
 could point me in the right direction to find out):
                 No. of Cylinders
                 No. of heads
                 Write Precomp
      Thanks in advance!!

                                         -Sean
